Common Questions About Cleanings and Exams
Why are dental cleanings and exams important for overall health?
Cleanings and exams allow us to detect signs of inflammation, airway restriction, clenching, and other early indicators of systemic health concerns. These visits support your immune system, reduce your risk for chronic disease, and help protect your energy and well-being over time.
Can a routine dental exam reveal airway or breathing issues?
Yes, Dr. Kaady often uses cleanings and exams to look for subtle signs of airway restriction, such as mouth breathing, tongue positioning, or teeth grinding during sleep. These early markers can indicate underlying issues, such as sleep-disordered breathing, that may impact mood, focus, energy, and overall health if left unaddressed.
Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?
Pain is typically a late-stage symptom. Many oral health issues develop quietly and without noticeable discomfort. Routine dental exams enable Dr. Kaady to identify early signs of decay, inflammation, clenching, or airway issues before they develop into more serious problems. By identifying these concerns early, we can offer conservative, minimally invasive solutions to protect both your smile and your overall health.
